What do the Valorant devs’ comments suggest?

In a previous interview with GameSpot on June 4, 2020, the Executive Producer Anna Donlon said:

"We are definitely prototyping that right now.”

The fear lies in the advantage of the PC players, playing with mouse and keyboard, over other players. She further added:

"But there's a way to play this game and there's a way to experience this game that we're not entirely sure translates completely to console play."

Hence, like League of Legends (LoL), the developers are interested in bringing Valorant to multiple platforms such as console and mobile.
